Reviews

"In The Longevity Paradox, Dr. Steven Gundry upends many long-held
beliefs about aging, debunking common misconceptions and making the
provocative yet persuasive argument that the length and quality of
our lives is a function of the health of our microbiome. Practical,
informative, and hopeful, this book will change the way you think
about aging." -- Mark Hyman, MD, Director, Cleveland Clinic Center

"The Longevity Paradox offers a fresh perspective on an existential
question: how can we live a long life and grow old while still
enjoying the physical and mental qualities of being young? What Dr.
Gundry shows us is not only that it's possible to thrive as we age,
but that the power to do it lies in our own hands (or, more
accurately, our guts). It's an essential read for anybody who's
growing older - which is to say, everybody." -- Arianna Huffington,
